Gonna knock out a quick one today because last's nights piece wore me slap out. Putting that much effort and research into a piece raises my blood pressure and gives a mess of a headache. I thought it was just hardcore political writing that was whipping me like a mean dog, but no, it's just that much … Continue reading Wednesday, February 26, 2020

Okay, so in the past 48 hours or so the freakout level of the world has increased a good bit over this coronavirus business. While we have touched on it in the past, the basic squirrelliness quotient of the human condition has got to the point where I think it'd do us all a bit of … Continue reading Tuesday, February 25, 2020

I had an idea strike me this morning, and while I don't know how on the nose it is, it's given a sense of clarity to a lot of things. I'm just getting down and will do more with it, maybe, at a later date. All of this is outside my wheelhouse and has more … Continue reading Monday, February 24, 2020

Well, the rain's back. It moved in with some warmer temperatures and they say it'll come down through to Tuesday. On the upside, it's not supposed to add more to the flooding in the state. On the downside, Otis realizes we're not going to be able to take any constitutionals for a bit. You know … Continue reading Sunday, February 23, 2020

I'm not promising any great shakes tonight. It's been a lovely day, if a bit cold, and I have been unable to pay attention. So let's go, hey? Today's the Nevada caucuses and, as opposed to the mess that Iowa wound up being, it seems to be going fairly smoothly. So far as anyone can tell, this one's … Continue reading Saturday, February 22, 2020

I don't know what I'm going to write about tonight. I had an idea in the drive home from the gym, but it has plumb eluded me since. Even the evening constitutional with Otis wasn't able to spur it back into life. I guess we could look into the News, since we haven't really been … Continue reading Friday, February 21, 2020

"In a closed society where everybody's guilty, the only crime is getting caught. In a world of thieves, the only final sin is stupidity." On the third morning of my Big Trip, I was in Lamar, CO, a little town on the state line, after visiting Dodge City, KS. Nice little town, I thought, sort … Continue reading Thursday, February 20, 2020

I try not to deal in conspiracy theories. For one, one can get so deep into a conspiracy theory that makes complete sense at first brush apart from one small flaw that will spin into all sorts of nutty to explain away that flaw. One of the reasons scientific progress happens is because old theories … Continue reading Wednesday, February 19, 2020

The rain has returned. Not quite as fierce as it was last week, but there was at least one solid frog drowner with a bit of rattle and flash. A dreary day and I'm in a dreary mood, so let's get our words and go back to bed. I suppose the most significant News of … Continue reading Tuesday, February 18, 2020

Well, I don't know what to start with today. The News isn't all that terribly grabbing and I used up all my booshwah over the weekend. But, the rain's back so Otis is upset we can't take our constitutional, so let's knock this out. Speaking of the rain, save a thought for the poor folks … Continue reading Monday, February 17, 2020
